Indexing is the process by which your operating system (Windows) will be
cataloguing all the contents of a drive. Its advantage is that you will
quickly locate items in your search results if you use F3 or Search in
Windows Explorer.
Usually indexing takes place when your computer is in idle state, but if you
don't find it useful, for instance if you are using the Google Desktop
Search -- you can turn the Indexing service off. This will speed up your PC
to some extent.
If you don't often search files, or whatever, you can turn it off -- but I
think it is better to leave it on because you never know for sure when
disaster will strike and you will need it at some point.
Cheers,
Ishe

Hi, what is indexing and why is my computer doing it all the time, and
does it slow it down? Should and how would I stop it?
Thanks,
Matt
